This book analyses two features of the traditional circus that have come under increasing attack since the mid-20th century: the use of wild animals in performance and the act of clowning. Positioning this socio-cultural change within the broader perspective of evolutionary semiotics, renowned circus expert Paul Bouissac examines the decline of the traditional circus and its transformation into a purely acrobatic spectacle. The End of the Circus draws on Bouissac's extensive ethnographic research, including previously unpublished material on the training of wild animals and clown make-up, to chart the origins of the circus in Gypsy culture and the drastic change in contemporary Western attitudes on ethical grounds. It scrutinizes the emergence of the new form of circus, with its focus on acrobatics and the meaning of the body, showing how acrobatic techniques have been appropriated from traditional Gypsy heritage and brought into the fold of mainstream popular entertainment. Questioning the survival of the new circus and the likely resurgence of its traditional forms, this book showcases Bouissac's innovative approach to semiotics and marks the culmination of his ground-breaking work on the circus.

The End of the Circus is an allegorical tale about the journey to courage, love, forgiveness, and healing. It follows Jabari, a grieving African runaway, who seeks adventure in faraway lands, but finds himself cleaning the stalls of circus animals, impoverished, and longing to return home. When the circus ends tragically, he finds himself responsible for four beleaguered animals and embarks with them on an adventurous quest to set them free. But as they struggle to get home, they discover that the real challenge isn't getting the animals out of the circus but getting the circus out of the animals. This heartfelt story entertainingly weaves the common themes that keep us from, and the truths that guide us to, discovering our deepest selves, inviting readers to magically explore their own inner journey.

It's 1899 and all of Europe is agape at the arrival of the new century. The world crackles with possibilities and people dance to the irresistible rhythms of money, sex, love and freedom.
